Yeah you need to change the oil in these cars every 5k. They are high performance turbo engines. I would never buy a BMW that just was returned from lease. Walking disaster
You also need to wind the engine out from time to time or carbon buildup. Rich people in these cars literally never floor it from what I see
When I can’t buy a manual anymore I’ll just kill myself. Lol. They are just so immensely satisfying to operate.
Worse than automatics in 2026 though in every way except fun.
B58 will probably be my next car. My n55 has almost 200k on it and the problems are getting kind of frequent.
Didn’t really see any this year.
But when I was 15 my mom woke me up on April fools bright and early. Said there are important looking men in suits at the front door asking for you. Something about what you have been downloading
I’ve never been so scared in my entire fucking life. Glorious prank
That’s actually why the used market for BMWs is such trash. If you want a manual transmission good luck finding one because the original buyers are the people OP is talking about. People who actually know which cars are good tend to be poor people lol
I was thinking about this while I was on my hike yesterday. Weird. I was picturing a mushroom cloud emerging somewhere over the puget sound and thinking about what I would do.
I came here to suggest Frigate.
Some of the bands I like are comprised of literal murderers
Uh yeah this is kind of the human experience
When I went through a breakup two years ago, the first day I bought a $200 bong made out of titanium
You can literally drive over it with a pickup truck, it is amazing
Added relevant YouTube links
Getting older and watching loved ones get older
Are you in Canada? Fluance is a great local company
First I’ve heard of it. It just looks like minecraft. Why should I be interested in this?
I just put lights on my fig tree lol
She should sell that car, and buy the best possible older lexus with the funds haha. That malibu won’t be on the road in 5 years
Dad ran an auto repair shop for 40 years and his dad before him and I’ve had the pleasure of watching it all unfold. My dad refused to allow me to inherit the shop and told me to pursue a different career for my entire life
Maybe it’s possible to make EVs that can be repaired, but just with the state of humanity I don’t think this is ever going to happen
You don’t actually own the car you bought, it’s impossible to repair via third party
I think EVs only exist to bail out the failing car industry
I also think fire risks are underestimated and unlike a normal car fire you can’t just put it out with an extinguisher. I live in BC and one day there’s going to be an EV fire on a ferry and the entire narrative is going to change
I also think they are just plain boring. I hate modern cars entirely but EVs have such a numbed down driving experience that it’s just depressing. In the future I’ll probably just stop driving cars entirely. I live in a pretty bikeable area but the only reason I drive is because I simply enjoy driving my sports car over a bike
I think electric cars are terrible
No, none of them are to be honest, and I don’t think any of them have girlfriends either. Think lemmy type people. Lol
Same thing for mechanics. My dad has wrenched for 45 years and you should see what he drives lol
